About
The first document of the religious complex dates back to 1278, but it is thought that its foundation was much earlier. The church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and was home to the Franciscan fraternity for an initial period until 1810 when, due to the Napoleonic decree which suppressed religious orders, the friars were forced to leave. Following the abandonment via a grand-ducal motu-proprio act (1816) the ownership of the church and convent passed to the community which then, via a public act (1826) conceded the use of the religious complex to the Piarist fathers.
